I currently have a copperband butterfly in my frag tank ( 70g) sectioned off to a little over 1/3rd of it. I tried Mysis and brine, i think he picked at it just a hair but nothing to be sustainable.

I dropped in the hakari frozen clam on half shell and he picks very violently at that for 2-3 attacks then ignores it. Ive had him about a week now. I drop one clam in a day right now due to work hours and have been leaving them i. For the other critters to eat. That way I have some clean shells to move onto different food.

Should I try and mix in masstick into the clam to get a taste of that or should I try getting him to eat off if the wall feeders first?

He hides in a back cave all day so I just throw the food back there. Hoping he comes out more as he gets comfortable.

Next steps? Seems like just getting any food in them is the biggest challenge.

many people raise white worms to feed them.
